Hearing loss WILL happen by firing any gun without protection. Of course the level of hearing loss that will occur will depend on the gun and for how long and how frequently one gets exposed to it, but firing ANY type of gun without ear protection is not safe.

How is hearing diagnosed?
that depends on the type of suspected hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is blocked from the inner ear . Excessive earwax and fluid in the middle ear are the most common causes. A doctor can easily diagnose this problem by looking into the ear canal. Excessive wax can be removed (NEVER do this yourself). Fluid in the middle ear, usually caused by colds or allergies are treatable. This loss is temporary. Sensory-neural loss is caused by the permanent damage to nerves in the inner ear. This loss is unavoidable over our lifetime so excessive noise should be avoided.The degree of hearing loss is meaured by an audiologist, using earphones in a sound-proof booth. Depending on the loss, hearing aids may be recommended. Hearing loss is usually gradual but exposure to excessive noise can quicken the loss. Any noise loud enough to make your ears ring has caused permanent damage.
